I saw the life in the trees
Looked past death’s taxes and fees
Crept into locked corridors to see
Nothing could catch up with me

Control kept hands off of my heart
Past baggage away I would cart
Seasons blessed the shadows of the moon
All the while I was becoming the neighborhood loon

Reality kicked my side one day in June
Days of bliss dragged until it was too soon
I realized love was never floating around
And just like that I wanted to be put in the ground
